Keynote by Maor Shlomo, Founder & CEO of Base44 | RAISE Summit 2026
Founded 18 months ago as a one-person "vibe coding" platform, Base44 recently secured a Wix acquisition despite generating over $150 million in annual recurring revenue without external investment. The company achieved 50x growth by restructuring around "Teams of Ones," where individual contributors leverage AI agents to handle end-to-end operations without traditional management layers. This model prioritizes compounding ambitions by reinvesting 30% of time into custom tooling, enabling a single entity to execute hundreds of daily deployments and expansive product initiatives that outpace legacy organizational structures.
Base44’s Founder, Maor Shlomo on How Vibe Coding Will Kill SaaS
Base44 founder Mayol sold his solo-founder bootstrap business to Wix for $80 million, a deal structured to maintain a lean product team while leveraging Wix's infrastructure, ultimately driving the acquired company to over $100 million in annual revenue. Mayol leveraged this exit to pivot his strategic focus toward the emerging "vibe coding" category, predicting that AI-generated, vertically integrated software will eclipse traditional SaaS models by prioritizing user-owned applications and eliminating feature bloat. Drawing on his experience scaling Base44 through a prompt-only workflow, Mayol now advises investors to prioritize startups with deep infrastructure moats over commoditized prompting layers, citing the shift toward non-consolidated market dynamics and the imminent zero-cost model pricing.
